What I'd Like It To Be (Raw/SmackDown!/ECW)

I'm not gonna come on here and moan about how wrestling sux now, but there is something that's been bothering me since WWECW came about:

No individuality. At all.

An ECW Extreme Rulez Match is a No DQ Match. Big f'n deal. Raw and SmackDown! are virtually interchangeble aside from different faces and sets. When people say they should merge rosters like days of old, they're right. But here's some ideas on how having 'different' brands would make more since and promote... A sense of identity.

Raw:
-Stress more serious matches, with less gimmicky wrestlers overall. Basically a more serious show where stakes are high but not hyperbole.
-Create a sense of strict government where 'GMs' and 'Executive Assistants' primarily creat matches and stips and the wrestlers seem powerless against them.
-Add a second reff on the outside.
-Silly finishes like holding the tights, using the ropes to pin, and DQ endings should be abolished from Raw. When they do happen the reffs should review the 'Challenges' called by the loser and CONTINUE MATCHES if the desicion is overturned. This will give Raw a more sport feel, like Judgment Day 2000's Rock/HHH Ironman Match.

SmackDown!:
-Extended Count-Out, to like 20. This is something me and buds did with WCW/NWO Revenge when we played with the High Flyers to encourage... high flying.
-More emphasis on gimmick matches, with more emphasis on 'cartoon' wrestlers as well. This will give the show the fmaily programming feel Micheal Cole swears Smackdown is all about.
-Stipulations and matches must appear governed by the wrestlers (and fans) to give a more democratic feel to the show. Something like, but not as elaborate as, Taboo Tuesday.

ECW:
-Every match should be an 'Extreme Rulez' match. This doesn't mean every match will be a garbage match or a spot-fest, but knowing anything could happen and not just for some cheap finish (looking at Raw) is what I liked back with classic ECW.
-The ballroom, every week.
-ECW TV and Tag titles.
-30 more minutes, just 30 more.
